When the interactive part of the battery insertion selftest is complete, the
FR2+ turns off and goes to standby mode to be ready for use.
If proper operation of all features has not been verified in the interactive
selftest, you may want to rerun the battery insertion selftest. If a feature of
operation cannot be verified, contact Philips Medical Systems for technical
support.
Periodic selftests
In addition to the battery insertion selftest, the FR2+ automatically performs
periodic selftests (PSTs). These daily, weekly, and extensive monthly selftests
check many important functions of the FR2+, including battery capacity and
internal circuitry.
If it detects a problem during one of these periodic selftests, the FR2+
beeps and displays a flashing red X or a solid red X on the Status Indicator.

The FR2+ stores key information about its history in internal memory. To
